2000 E46 328Ci 5 spd. Slight visual mods. I blacked out the front fascia cleared the side and front markers. Added a OEM alarm system, and added aftermarket LEDs with smoked markers. Replaced all bimmer emblems with blacked out emblems. It gets 27 miles to the gallon half city/highway (420+ miles a tank). 30+ highway. Definitely been good to me so far. Knock on wood

My super sweet Cashmere 1994 Toyota Camry 2.2 LE. She's got 197,000 miles on her but still runs strong.

My 2008 Honda Sport Fit. It basically has what I need. Great MPG and space. oh and I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma which I am considering selling soon.

Not many people are aware of this car. it was a 2 year production run. less than 10k on the road so you won't see much of it.

2.3 liter Turbo
270hp/280tq
AWD

Very slim aftermarket but its there.

sort of like the Galant VR-4 or the Celica All-Trac of old except no rally heritage but a cult following.

Much bigger than an evo, sti plus hauls more cargo and bigger interior.

The look on peoples faces when they get pulled on are priceless.
